Making the normal
look beautiful
Creative design for print and digital
Whether you are a small start-up or an established company, I will create bespoke solutions to help you make a big impact.
Branding
I am passionate about helping companies create a strong brand identity that reflects who they are, what they do and what makes them stand out from their competitors. When it comes to branding, consistency is key, so whether you are a start-up or established business, if you need new branding, or a rebrand, I will work with you to create your logo, colour palette, typeface, graphic elements and brand guidelines, creating a memorable brand experience that will resonate with your audience.
We live in a digital age, but print design is still a very effective form of visual communication. Using type and imagery I create effective print marketing, that will make you stand out from the competition.
I create design solutions for a wide range of clients, purposes and audiences, so whether you are looking for office stationery, brochures, flyers, leaflets, catalogues, magazines, direct mail, wedding invitations or design for vehicle livery, signage, merchandise or packaging, I will create a look that reflects your brand.
Digital
It is important to have an effective online presence for your business, so if you need a beautiful, responsive WordPress website, that is clean and simple and perfectly reflects your brand, I will build one for you. If you need banners, icons and infographics for your website, a fresh design for your email marketing campaigns or effective email graphics for your social media advertising, I will create those too, creating a consistent set of digital assets you can use.

5 Steps to Design Success
The first step for every project, is to discuss the design brief. This will help me to understand your business and what you are looking to achieve, as well as give us both the chance to get to know each other. We will work together to identify and agree your project objectives, deliverables and deadlines.
Here, we will review the project brief set at stage 1, and begin looking at styles and concepts that could influence the design work, as well as identifying any competitor activity to stand out from.
Once the design direction has been established, the design concept stage can begin. This is when the fun starts, and ideas can come to life. I will present you with my 3 strongest ideas, along with an explanation of the thought processes behind them.
At this stage, we work together to refine and develop your preferred design concept. We’ll consider the context and format in which the design will be used (e.g. print or digital), and account for any accompanying text. I’ll then create mock-ups, prototyping or printed proofs as appropriate for you to review.
Once the work is complete and you have confirmed that you are happy, I will supply you with all of the final artwork files or liaise with a printer on your behalf if you prefer. You can now start to share your bespoke design with your audience.
Testimonials
Amanda has an incredible talent for transforming brand values into brand visuals. I couldn’t be happier with the logo, colour palette, font and graphics she created for WordPlay Creative. I would recommend Olively Design to any business in need of a new brand or rebrand.

I love working with Amanda. She’s a designer who really listens to what you’re trying to achieve and her attention to detail (things like print finish and colour matching) mean that you get a ‘wow’ end product. I’d definitely recommend her.
